@Jared904: I actually wish we had that law in PA (perhaps we do but it is not enforced). The main culprits are law enforcement personnel and their families with their FOP stars bolted over their license plate numbers so that it obscures at least one, often two, digits on the plate. It is just one more way that the…

@P_Smith: I think that blame needs to go much further back, all the way to the 1970's when CAFE first differentiated between cars and trucks.

Needs more strakes in the hood. That'll spruce it right up.

@Nayrlladnar: Not really, open wheels tend to result in flying cars, dnfs, and vehicular manslaughter.

@ODD DOOD: it just needs to be dressed up a bit, like this Fiat 500.

@JonZeke: That may get us flamed by the petrol heads but I totally agree. That would be a great case of racing improving the technology, just look at electric motorcycle racing. [www.egrandprix.tv] I'm thinking of going to the TTXGP finale at VIR in a few weeks.

@Vavon: That is fantastic. I like a car with a good sense of humor. I would only change the wheels.

@ket354: sadly, from my own experiences with alcoholics you are probably right.
